Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Wellow could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
